Sydney Mabry in the News!

Sydney Mabry and her dad, Mark, have been members of RAS for some time and Sydney has made presentations at monthly meetings. One of her presentations was a description of how she and her dad built a telescope together – the same telescope that you might have seen at a number of Astronomy Day and other outreach activities. Sydney is back in the news, having completed her Gold Award project for Girl Scouts. The title of the project is “STEM Grows Girls, Girls Grow STEM.” As a final part of the project she created a video about it, which will help to convey the message even further. Below is a link to the video – very much worth viewing. Congratulations to Sydney from her friends at RAS – excellent project and a very worthwhile endeavor!

Solar Eclipse 2017

The big event of 2017 is going to be a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21. It’s the first total solar eclipse visible from the continental United States in nearly four decades. But, it’s only going to be visible in certain locations. the web sitespace.com has a very nice video of where you’ll be able to see it.

For us Virginians, that means travel to Tennessee, far western N. Carolina, or S. Carolina.
